COIN-HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented April 23, 1907.

Application filed October -1906. Serial No. 340,487.

To all whmn it nuty concern.-

Be it known that I,PATRICK T. DUNN, of the city and county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Coin- Holder; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and eXact description thereof, Which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification.

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the invention. Fig. 2 represents a side View of the ring A with anopening at d, the three rin s or cylinders A, B, and 0 being of exactly t e same form. Fig. 3 representsa cross-section through the rings or cylinders i t any point of the1r periphery, as at m n of The coin-holder is composed of any convenient number of such rings or cylinders fastened together at their outer surfaces. Each ring or cylinder has an inturned flange upon the inner surface of each of its ends, as shown at g, 'i, and 7c of Fig. 1. Each ring or cylinder has a cut or opening in its side and along its longitudinal axis, as shown at d, e, and f, of Fig. 1.

As manufactured, the attached rings or cylinders are of proper size to receive coins of different denominations in common use, and are made of resilient material, such as metal, so that when coins are placed within the ring or cylinder they are held in position within the ring or cylinder by the spring of the material; and are removed therefrom by a slight pressure which opens the ring or cylinder apart at the cut or opening in its side.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters-Patent is:

As an improved article of manufacture, a coin-holder composed of a plurality of independent rings of different sizes arranged with their peripheries permanently secured together to hold said rings in successive order, each ring being of resilient material and having inturned flanges, and each ring having an opening in its side parallel with its longitudinal axis, each ring being independently capable of being opened to receive or discharge a coin and to hold the latter by the resiliency of the material of the ring.

In testimony whereof, I have slgned my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

PATRICK T. DUNN.
